I am right handed but left handed for some very specific things such as playing pool or hockey

It happens. I can play hockey with either hand as dominant. Too bad that wasn't really a useful talent like being a switch hitter in baseball. I'm generally left handed, but play musical instruments almost exclusively right handed. I had a friend teach me drums. He was right handed and didn't even think to ask me about my handedness, or didn't want to move stuff around (lefties have to adapt to a right handed world...). It didn't feel awkward though. I don't know why I play guitar right handed. The prevailing theory in my family is that I "learned" by mirroring Kurt Cobain on the TV screen...

Same but i feel many sports are weird in that i’ve never been convinced that there’s a particularly natural right or left handedness to them.

Eg. For pool does the more dextrous hand need to push the cue or does it line up and guide the front of the cue? I can see tradeoffs each way and the front hand is certainly not just limp when playing.

Hockey is similar. The top or the bottom hand being the more dextrous probably has tradeoffs but I don’t see either grip as being more or less natural for handedness. I don’t play hockey but play golf and cricket which have similar grips and am similar there to you too.

Golf and baseball batting have obvious handedness - the muscles that pull your towards your centerline and then across your body and significantly stronger than the ones that push your arm back out away from your body, and the right-handed stance in these two sports uses the stronger muscles in the right arm.

My dad was a lefty and played golf right-handed. It's a common enough thing.

In golf, strength is overrated until you get to the pros.

phil mickelson, easily the most famous left handed golfer, is right-handed but plays lefty because he would stand across from his dad and mirror his swing as a kid

Re: pool, definitely the one pushing needs to be the dominant hand.

It has the most degrees of freedom, and more motion. The one in front has a whole table for stability.

But that's just like my opinion, man.

fun fact: vs the US, golf stores in Canada carry more left-handed clubs because a right handed hockey player has their right hand higher on the stick which is the same orientation as the grip for left-handed golfers.

Same which makes me very poor at sports. I write right-handed. For anything sports related (riding a board, throwing a ball, golf, batting, bowling, etc) I'm leftie. My dad is left-handed, mother is right-handed. I have wondered if I should've been a left-handed writer and was corrected either explicitly or just by the environment to write right-handed.

Same! I am specifically left handed for pool and cannot figure out how to play it right handed - absolutely zero coordination.

Interestingly, playing left-handed in "field" hockey is actually illegal for safety reasons and left-handed sticks don't exist.

OP should have linked to the website rather than the documentation; that would have provided more immediate context for the discussion.

> what's preventing you from going to their website?

Lack of links.

It's a common annoyance when subsections of a site fail to link back to the parent.

I did actually try looking for an "about" on the linked page and googling, neither of which was immediately helpful.

Did he eventually get the job he was initially applying?

No, Guy Kewney got it.

According to the article, no.

does that mean this data center was way overprovisionedo or that grok is barely used and they could potentially kill it and just use claude?

That's pretty interesting. I was thinking about starting a new pet project and was considering doing it in Rust to learn as I never tried anything with it and after some small pocs I had the feeling it was too verbose to my taste, but wasn't sure it was just me and/or my lack of experience with Rust. Still, wonder if it's still worth it to give a shot considering other positive elements of the language.

Verbosity aside, whether or not Rust is a good fit depends on what you are doing. The language design is broadly optimized for low-level application code, like command-line utilities. If that is the use case then you are likely to have a good experience.

For high-performance and high-reliability systems code, Rust is much more of a mixed bag. In a systems context it lacks the ability to easily and ergonomically express idiomatic constructs important for safety and performance that are trivial to express in e.g. C++. When you run into these cases it can get pretty ugly.

Most people don't write this kind of systems code. What most people call "systems code" is really more like low-level applications code, where Rust excels. It is software like highly-optimized kernel-bypass database engines and similar where the limitations start to show.

It’s worth learning, in my opinion, but I’ve been writing it professionally for the better part of a decade, so my opinion may be a bit skewed.

It’s my favorite language to write, and it gets much easier over time. As a first approximation, if you’re doing something and it feels insanely difficult like the GP is talking about, try to think of a different way to do it rather than fighting it. There’s usually a way to do almost anything, but it’s more pleasant to lean into the grooves the language pushes you towards.

Rust is definitely very verbose. I think it's a fine choice -- probably even the best choice -- if you're doing systems code or if performance is your most important feature. If not, I would pass.

> performance

or less ressource hungry software

Some say verbose, some say explicit. I had the complete opposite reaction to Rust than this other person, and I don’t think I’m particularly smart so I don’t think it’s purely a matter of intelligence. Even asynchronous rust is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

this. I really enjoyed the Niri approach when I discovered it and missed something similar for my mac. This is the best implementation I have tested so far, and while there are definitely some quirks, at least in my case I feel it completely usable as a daily driver(love the tabbed columns) kudos to maintainer and contributors

not only Safari, several other apps such as Music (which also has several annoying quirks) never understood why they did not get their own lifecycle if they have dedicated teams for each of those apps

If you're interested, it's to reduce cost. It's incredibly expensive to build something like Music or Maps. If each version is tied to an OS version, it keeps you from having to explode your testing and fixing cycle over time.

This is especially notably when you want to support all the latest OS features.

My company keeps the testing cycle smaller by only adding new OS-dependent features to its mobile app when the minimum supported OS version gets incremented and a feature is supported in every supported OS version. That means that the iOS app is only now getting features that were added in iOS 15 in 2021.

And what about the companies that thought that advertising (sorry, suggesting) their product through this channel was a good idea?

Don't assume they were in on it. Microsoft plays very weird games with platform access and traffic.

agree. I guess it's a force of habit, but I am so used to the cmd+<whatever> (specially copy & paste) shortcuts, that I configured them into my linux desktop to behave the same way

sorry, still don't get no tests as an excuse to go faster. obviously ymmv, but you will need to test your implementation somehow, and manual testing usually takes more time than running your automated tests. no need to over test, but definitely tests doesn't mean it will slow you down, unless you don't know how to test, which in that case, that's totally up to you.
